Librivox recording of The New Organon Or True Directions Concerning The Interpretation of Nature by Francis Bacon.
Read by Alan Shaw, Craig Campbell, Morgan Scorpion, Geoffrey Edwards, and Julie VW.

The Novum Organum is a philosophical work by Francis Bacon published in 1620. The title translates as "new instrument". This is a reference to Aristotle's work Organon, which was his treatise on logic and syllogism. In Novum Organum, Bacon details a new system of logic he believes to be superior to the old ways of syllogism. For Bacon, finding the essence of a thing was a simple process of reduction, and the use of inductive reasoning . . . This work was critical in the historical development of the scientific method.
